Member when?

I seem to be on this "Member when" kick, so I will indulge my readers with another great story. Let's call this one, "The best double feature in the world!"

It was a dark and stormy night. (isn't that how all good stories start?) Well, actually it was a dark and stormy night. My little sister's daycare teacher had decided to take the two of us to see Footloose and Breakin' See, I told you the best double features in the world! We went to the old Eygptian theater. It was a pretty run down place, at the time, but it was also one of my favorites, as a kid. The chairs were pretty broken...one was lucky to get a seat that had both arm rests and fabric covering the seats. That was a luxury. One of the best features of this poor run down theater was the fact that one could watch the movie from the ladies room. No need to miss a moment while urinating.

We settled into our seats, got all comfy, and ready to watch the movies. I still remember the dancing feet on the screen. I was in a dancer's heaven. Oh, I wanted to be the lady wearing the leg warmers and white high heels. If only.....
Footloose was amazing. Breakin' was beginning. I couldn't wait. The storm outside was getting more angry and the thunder/lightning more aggressive. Suddenly, the lights flickered and the movie went off. "I want my money back!" a man yelled out. There was all kinds of chatter in the theater as we sat in the dark waiting and wondering what to do next. I was feeling a bit bummed. I had desperately wanted to see Breakin'. It was, after all, the new craze at my elementary school and I thought it was totally radical. Then, as if, someone upstairs had heard my little eight year old prayer, the movie turned back on, the crowd cheered, and we sat back to enjoy a fantastic movie.

p.s ask my little sis how excited I was to see the sequel "Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo" It was all I could talk about. And, I saw it for the first time two years ago. Not bad...

pps. I am at the library typing this up and for some reason it won't let me put on two youtube vids, so I will do another one with Breakin' because you really need to see it!!
